Who is overachieving the most on your team?

For me it's been Zubac, averaging 41 ftps. Picked him at 130.

Curious to hear other amazing picks.

Category leagues vs Points leagues

Since I started playing fantasy basketball, in 2017, I had only ever played in category leagues. 9-Cat specifically. This season, I decided to draft a points league team in addition to my Cat league teams, and man... Points is just SO much more fun for me! How do you guys feel about it? Do you prefer the categories, or is it more fun to watch the points go brrr?

Brainstorming newbie

I'm on a roto 14t 10cat 82games max no trades league and is currently sitting on rank 1 of our league. This is my second season trying this fantasy thing and I went 4th place last season. I am still new and literally just discovered how waiver wire prioritizing works and how the points scoring for the whole league rankings is being calculated.

I unfortunately got the 13th pick this season and this is my what i drafted kd, chet, f wagner, jjj, mpj, claxton, c white, suggs, tyus jones, cam johnson-- Picked up from wire: g dick, n richards, carrington On my IL: shaedon sharpe, olynyk

Right now I am first on Fg%, stl, blk

I am lacking of ast so I dropped clingan and picked up carrington recently.

Can you guys share what approach should I do to lock my chances for atleast rank 1-3 on our league? I pretty much have no idea on what i am doing, just guessing and picking up people here and there without actual knowledge on wtf is going on.

Embiid owners, you have no one to blame

You knew he's hurt, you knew he's unlikely to play back to backs, you knew even when back, his minutes might be slashed.

The only way Embiid was worthwhile is if he fell to, say about round 6 in a 12 teamer? But I am guessing most people drafted him in round 2 or 3 listening to Youtube "Pros", thinking that's already way below his ADP. But now you can only wait, and trust the ironically named- The Process.

Would love to hear from those who took him in round 2 or 3 and still feel it's worthwhile. Stashing him in an IL spot is fine but still, my opinion is he was never worth a second or third rounder.

Alex Caruso

He isn't making any shot, averaging less than 2 points, and 2 assists. Defensively he is really good, 1.7 stl and 1.3 Blk, but offensively... damn. He is playing around 20 mins.

Should I drop him? 16 team league

Jordan "Poole Party" Poole

Poole been looking amazing in his first 4 games, with outstanding steals on top of his points and 3s. He seems to be the #1 option pushing kuzma out, and is playing extremely well feeding his team. Will he be able to maintain this somewhat for the rest of the season, given how volatile he is as a fantasy player?

Jalen "Doesn't" Suggs

Could he go from a streamer to a solid hold for the rest of the season? His past 3 games have shown him balling out since starting and I don't see him slowing down anytime soon. What's everyone's thoughts on him?

Thursday Streamers - Points League

Hey guys, was hoping to spark some discussion pertaining to potential streamers for tomorrow. For context I’m in 10T espn default scoring.

Some of the guys I’m looking at are:

Chris Paul

Derrick Jones Jr.

Jay Huff

Tari Eason

Out of these guys I like CP3 the most but perhaps that’s recency bias after todays game. I would probably put Tari 2nd since he’s ramped up his minutes every game. Feel free to throw out some other names.

What the hells going on.

Zion, Wemby, Bam, Hali, Book, Sengun, Lauri, Brunson, Ant, Giannis and Ja.

ALLLL super mid this season with some like Bam and Zion getting the straight trash treatment with others close.

Who has been your early letdowns/unexpected risers?

Letdown has been Bam for sure but super stoked with Chet.

Jalen Duren

What’s the deal with him? Is he worth having on your roster ? He has such a boring statline. Seems like the better move to take chances on guys like Risacher or Sarr but I’m curious what others think.

Benny's role in pacers' system

This is about benny mathurin perf today (30/11/4, with 4 tos but 52 perc from the field and 90 perc on FT). Ofc, as he is on my team, I want him to succeed. But sometimes, I can justify which rick is benching him (a LOT of defensive mishaps against the celts tonight, granted the celts ball movement on the perimeter is hard to follow but still, some of them are routine-ish mistakes). I do think he should be the 2 or 3 on the starting 5 as they lack shooting on that side (though streaky, he is a better shooter/scorer than Nembhard and nesmith). Lmk your thoughts!!!

Fantasy Basketball drains my mental health

I remember why I took a 2 year break from it. I had the choice to add jay huff or Nick Richard’s for today. I went with Huff. How does one not let fantasy basketball ruin your night?

Added to Fantasy Basketball League without Consent

Anyone mysteriously getting added to fantasy leagues in other sports? I've been in a fantasy football league for about five seasons now. All of a sudden, I'm in a fantasy basketball league I didn't sign up for and don't seem to be able to leave. Another guy from my ffl had the same thing happen to him but with hockey. Seems like an uncool move on Yahoo's part. If anyone is familiar with this situation, do you know if there is a way to leave? I could deal with less notifications on my phone.

Is Coulibaly for real

While typing, he is in the middle of his third straight game with 17+ and also now has 4 "stocks". Wizards are probably going full on tank mode so young guys like him would probably be prioritized down the stretch. Also, one of my teams needs SFs.

Yves Missi 📈

Yves Missi could be the best rookie fantasy this season. He has a clear path to minutes with Theis as the current pels starting center but Missi is way better.

Hes a shotblocking machine and has some statstuffing potential for 9cat. He looks nba ready and should continue to get more min. Herb is out tonight too, add missi now if you are in a competitive deeper league
